One Final Walk on Feb. 13, 2010
Do you day dream?
I mean sometimes, do you day dream so big that it surprises you?
Yesterday, I had a daydream that our beloved Canine Son Carter, an 11-year old Yellow Lab stole one of Jesus’ sandals.
We laid Carter to rest yesterday morning, Valentine’s Day.
It was a glorious moment when the image of Carter meeting Jesus and licking Jesus’ face so much with affectionate kisses that Jesus finally had to laugh and say, “OK Carter, enough, that’s enough already.”
And Carter obeyed. But quickly grabbed one of Jesus’ sandals and began his favorite game – keep away.
Dream big today, no matter your circumstance. Try not to let any thing or any one deprive you of your most glorious day dream.
Carter will never change…and that’s a VERY good thing. Good boy, Carter. Forever.
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you…you shared a beautiful thought about Carter and Jesus…keep that ever in your thoughts and remember all the joy he brought you and your family…

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Chapin is blessed to have a dad that, as you had mentioned before, took time to share with him the hard conversation of life and death. Not only did you prepare him, but I think you helped to prepare yourself for this moment. And in the end, you have helped to paint a lifetime full of wonderful memories of Carter for your family.
